Rejoice in the Lord!

    In Psalm 33:1 the Bible says "Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright."  The Bible tells us that this is something that is pleasing to the Lord.  All through scripture we see very clearly that God deserves our praise.  How many times a day do we think to simply stop and praise the Lord?  In Psalm 150:6 we see, "Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.  Praise ye the Lord."  Why do you think this is?  Could it be because God is the giver of life.  In Genesis 2:7 Moses wrote, "And the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."  If God is the giver of life and those that have life are commanded to praise the Lord, than we have every reason to give God all praise for even us getting out of bed today.  The Bible many times over tells us to Praise the Lord and Rejoice in Him.  I Thessalonians 5:16 says "Rejoice evermore."  This should be a never ending character trait in our life.  Learn it now while you are young.  "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God."  What are you praising the Lord for today?  Think about something or someone right now and Praise the Lord today!
